We had a great time. The villa was the best we have ever stayed in and made us feel at home. Enjoyed swimming in the pool and visiting the local markets. Seeing all the animals was enjoyable including deer and ’Smokie’ the cat which visited us daily! We loved the fact that we were left alone to enjoy the peace and quiet.

What a fantastic holiday! House is beautiful and the pool has been great. The kids loved it! Loads of wildlife, wild boars, lizards etc. Weather fantastic, we would all love to come again.

A great week, very nice house in a lovely setting. Beautiful scenery, would love to stay longer!

So nice to see green surroundings! After years of drought in Australia the Dordogne is like paradise. Thanks to the owners of Le Castagnol for a lovely stay in a beautiful and comfortable villa.

At last, a gite that meets all hopes and expectations! A very pleasant week was had by all.

Well, what a fantastic place! We want one! May 2008.

Had a really lovely time. Very nice and peaceful. Weather has been good, nice well equipped house. Seen lots of wildlife including boar, lizards, frogs and lovely ’Smokie’ the cat. Mostly stayed by the pool relaxing. July 2007.

Kids loved the pool, 5 year old wouldn’t get out! Seen two wild boars eating grass by the trees by the pool and a res squirrel, the first we have ever seen! The house is very pretty and in beautiful surroundings. July 2007.

We have just returned from our second holiday at this wonderful villa. The picture does not do the property justice. It is in the middle of its own woods which are completely private. There are no neighbours and the children can shout and scream to their hearts content and not upset anyone. The owners have worked very hard to provide everything you could ever need and the home is nicely furnished but homely at the same time. Lots of wildlife to see daily, lizards, ants (!!), moles, toads, frogs, foxes etc. the housekeeper and groundswoman (originally from England) are so helpful and are always full of advice to help you enjoy your holiday. Don’t miss the markets for great bargains and the pub in Monpazier is great. English landlady which is extremely helpful with fussy children! This is the best villa we have stayed at and are going to have a hard time finding another villa up to that standard at the prices charged. July 2007.

Le Bourg (FL120)

Vibraye, Sarthe

This restored old Sarthois farmhouse is set in 2 acres of private informal gardens of grass and trees. It offers...

We stayed here for two weeks in August 2010, as two families of four. The accommodation was ideal and spacious (the pictures on the website are out of date as the walls have been knocked through to make more space). We had great fun in the pool and playing table tennis and badminton at the house & went to the nearby swimming lakes at Lavare and La Ferte Bernard for many activities. Enjoyed lots of sporting events - ladies’ Tour de France, football and racing at Le Mans - and sightseeing at Troo, Le Mans and Chateaudun. Enjoyed meals at the Auberge de la Foret in Vibraye (visited twice) and Montmirail. 7th Aug 2010

Lovely pool and patio. We came home totally relaxed and refreshed.

Montréal-le-Vieux (FDO54)

Église-Neuve d’Issac, Dordogne

A rural retreat set in an area of mixed woodland and small farms, this renovated, detached stone farmhouse...

Lovely setting in a small estuary village. Very helpful owners. Lots of home comforts, particularly good kitchen. Spacious and clean. Sept 2011.

Excellent property. Right in the middle of the quiet village with all amenities. Aug 2011.

Very modern house. Large rooms, well furnished, very clean. We were a family of four with 2 teenage daughters and this was perfect: they had the whole of the first floor to themselves. Ideally situated in the heart of the resort (but in a quiet street) within walking distance of everything. July 2010.

Will help you practice French as owner speaks no English!! Once visitors leave information about local facilities, it will make life easier on arrival as most shops closed on Sunday afternoon. Large, spacious, excellent location, well equipped. Aug 2009.

Maison de la Rose (F50230)

Gorges, nr. La Haye-du-Puits, Manche

Tucked away in a quiet hamlet on the picturesque Cotentin Peninsula, Maison de la Rose is a charming detached...

We didn’t find a visitor’s book. Overall, the property appeared to be a renovated old cottage/farmhouse and a charming family home. Guests are left many things to use, including board gammes, a CD player and CDs, an open fireplace and a gas barbeque. For naturalists, in the centre of a marsh, or for people interested in the Normandy landings, or historic towns like Bayeux, or beaches and fishing ports, it’s a gem. It would, however, greatly benefit from better and lager bathroom facilities. Aug 2011.
